At a time when the United States is striving to address the overwhelming numbers of our soldiers returning from deployment with symptoms of trauma, the ArtReach methodology represents a significant innovative model of treatment. There is a critical and growing need to reach veterans with the “invisible injuries” – Combat Stress, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Traumatic Brain Injury – in deeply meaningful and creative ways.

The ArtReach Foundation proudly presents VETS FIRST, its first annual major benefit to support ArtReach: Project America, and its pilot program for soldiers and vets in Georgia. This event is scheduled for November 7, 2009.

More information to soon follow.

With great honor and excitement, The ArtReach Foundation was invited to attend the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting this year in New York. This meeting brings together many of the world’s leaders to understand today’s most critical challenges we face globally. It creates a platform to transform ideas into tangible solutions.

CGI is a wonderful opportunity for us to share our accomplishments as well as our current and future projects. ArtReach’s commitment to CGI is to fully establish an ArtReach Middle East Institute in Amman, Jordan, and to train 4,000 educators and professional caregivers over the next three years to help 200,000 children affected by the trauma of displacement.
